Pretty Link Lite is a WordPress plugin that specially help affiliate marketers who want to mask their affiliate links. For one thing, people are sometimes hesitating to click on links that have affiliate data in the URL. For another, normally affiliate links look ugly.

For example, an affiliate link may be something like this:


http://affiliatewebsite.com/join/free-month?utm_source=shareasale&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=shareasale-aff-program&utm_content=treehouse-anchor-textk&cid=1086&SSAID=962XXX

This link looks really hideous!

http://www.yourwebsite.com/affiliate-name

Yes, this link looks much better than the previous one!
